Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Review: Silver Fox

When you start seeing numbers like “6” in product names, you know you’re firmly feet-dry on Iterative Improvement Island. But the Galaxy Watch 6 that’s spent the past week on my wrist does a good job of living up to the other word in its name: “Classic.” It’s a Wear OS watch with more style, power and fun than I’ve seen from Samsung in years … and the only reason I won’t be wearing it is because I think too many other people will be.

Has this dude ever considered doing audiobooks? His voice would be awesome reading stories.

I was euphorically amazed that they brought back the classic bezel!!! It was one of the subtle design perks that I loved about older Galaxy watches - as I hated the touch bezel… even if Samsung made its best attempt to mimic the physical bezel-like tactility through haptic feedback.

I upgraded from my Active 2 to the 44 mm model and it's amazing. The bigger screen looks great

[midnight_yota]

Just upgraded from the black watch 4 classic to the silver watch 6 classic a few days ago and I love it. I love the size and the bezel feels so much better when rotating. I've also genuinely gotten just about two days charge so far with it. Maybe more as the watch gets settled.

You’re just so talented it’s unbelievable

[howtenchem]

I was too eager and preordered the Watch 6, but I’m glad to always have a Mr Mobile review while I’m in the return window 😊

Your videos are always a joy, Michael. I do long for the days of the OG Pebble. A stylish companion with battery life to die for and a built in limiter of an e-ink display so it didn't try to do too much for a watch.

[ignaciopaulito]

I have to say that Samsung went all-out with the Galaxy Watch 6 series!

One of the things that caused this is the return of the classic rotating bezel to the fold, which is absolutely amazing!

[SomethingMobile]

More people need to watch your videos. I let this one sit in the background for way too long. I saw this video come out a few days back and still hadn’t watched it until now. I wish I would’ve watched it sooner. You delivered on this one as always. Thank you for the great video Michael

I have to be honest. I literally bought this watch just because of that silver color. It looks amazing lol.

[PsychMan]

This man could act too. The voice, the look, the class of his reviews. Excellent.

[MACBoricua]

You killed when saying 'Do we have to call it X?"😂😂😂 Awesome review as always... and I am NOT an Android user!! Thank you, Michael!!

Rotating bezels should be standard for all smart watches. Period.

[digitalranger]

On the bezel not waking the watch after just one click: I'm thinking that's a feature, so that if it catches on the cuff of your shirt or jacket, it doesn't keep waking up.

For samsung watch owners, I'd highly recommend the samsung wireless duo charger. Just so convenient with charging your watch and phone and wireless buds. msrp is high but often on sale. form factor is slim so its easy to slip in a bag for travel as well instead of having to carry around the dinky charger pucks.

Finally ordered a watch 6 classic! I was torn between the black or silver, but took the plunge on the silver. It's coming tomorrow and I can't wait!

I have a Watch3 Classic, and I am VERY happy with it. Although some dust got between the rotating bezel making it harder to spin, after 3 years of daily use and the occasional bump against a door or wall, the watch still works and looks brand new. I might consider buying the new Watch6, not because I need to replace the old one but because of that nice silver color, Wear OS, 4 years of updates and my experience with my current Galaxy watch.

I once had one of the first smartwatches as well, the LG G Watch, it's great to see smartwatches finally becoming decent replacements for normal watches.

Been using Watch 6 Classic about a week from pre-order.
First time owner of smartwatch and I ordered black version.
Kinda agree that silver one is better.
Black is more minimalist.

Daily using it as well as sleep tracking.
Can say it is pretty awesome.
Side note, the watch screen is so bright under direct sunlight is perfectly fine.

[larryenderle]

Every review is about the 6 classic. I went from a 3 with a rotating bezel to the regular 6 and I am so happy. I hate the bezel. It's In the way and takes up real-estate. I rarely used my watch until the 6 showed up and I'm in love. Rethink your decision just saying. I ordered it and had anxiety over not getting the classic and I'm so glad I did not. You do you

[Sbomb]

Looks pretty nice! A little surprised they brought back the rotating bezel, but in a good way. I'll probably still keep my gear s2 classic, since i prefer the smaller footprint and tizen software, but still a nice device!
